7 days til surgery!!!

7 days out. Start my preop diet today. No idea what I need for hospital or at home after. 

How long did you all stay out of work?

how did you remember to drink your water?

and remember to walk?

anything else I should know?

I had (and am still having) an easy recovery. I had surgery on Monday 4/13 and went back to work on Monday 4/20. I have a desk job anda home-based office which helped with my return. 

I always have a drink with me. I was drinking 90-100 oz pre-op and after about 3 days post-op have returned to that level. Post-op I seem to do better with warm liquids vs cold but that's been the only difference. I know some folks set timers and such to remember to drink. I didn't have to do that, but I know aome people found that helpful.

My beat advice is to make changes pre-op (no caffeine, no carbonated drinks, no drinking with meals, etc.) I feel certain this is why my post-op recovery has gone so well. Good luck!
